Magnetic Nanoparticles Prevent Hotspots in Cooling Systems
An international team comprised of researchers at MIT and in Australia has discovered a way to enhance heat transfer using magnetic fields, a method they say could prevent hotspots that can lead to system failures. The new system, which relies on tiny particles of magnetite, a form of iron oxide, is the result of several years of research on nanofluids—nanoparticles dissolved … [Read more...]
Connectors for Liquid Cooling Applications
Colder Products Company, a provider of quick disconnect couplings and fittings for plastic tubing, has released the new LQ6 series connectors. Designed specifically for liquid cooling applications requiring multiple connect and disconnect cycles, these specialized couplings deliver reliability, security and ease-of-use in cooling applications where a drip-free connection is … [Read more...]
New Surfaces Ease Dissipation of Extreme Heat
A new method of cooling extremely hot surfaces more effectively from researchers at MIT could benefit industrial equipment and electronic devices. Considered by many to be a quieter, more efficient way of removing heat compared to traditional air cooling methods, liquid cooling is commonly used in a number of applications such as internal combustion engines in vehicles and … [Read more...]
